Re: Seven Mile Casino located at 285 Bay Boulevard, Chula Vista, CA 91910
Dear Mr. Souza:
‘his letter is being provided to you as operator and card room license holder in the City of
Chula Vista (“City”) as a result of the recent federal and state investigations into aspects of the
gaming operation at the Seven Mile Casino located at 285 Bay Boulevard, Chula Vista, CA
91910.
The Chula Vista Police Department is aware of and is monitoring both the investigation and the
federal indictment issued against you individually and VC Cardroom, inc. dba Seven Mile Casino.
We also understand that Seven Mile Casino was served on December 9, 2015 with an
Emergency Order by the Chief of the California Bureau of Gaming Control, Department of
Justice ordering Seven Mile Casino to immediately suspend and cease all gambling-related
activities and to close the establishment. The Emergency Order was issued to other operators
of State Gambling License Number GEGE-000466 for Seven Mile Casino including, Elizabeth 1
Souza, Maile S. Lee (Souza-Bridge), Francis Burger, and Harvey and Bette Souza Living Trust.
‘As you are aware, the ability to operate Seven Mile Casino as a cardroom in the City under your,
local license is controlled by our Gaming Plan and is contingent on several factors, including
compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, or permits, As
we receive additional evidence and information, we will be assessing the situation to determine
whether and on what terms the Seven Mile Casino may continue to operate in the City.
In the interim, please be advised that prior to recommencing any gaming operations in the City
under your local license, you must present to the City satisfactory evidence that the California
Bureau of Gambling Control has removed its December 9, 2015 Emergency Order and has
authorized a continuation of gambling-related activities for Seven Mile Casino. Please also
provide information regarding any ongoing limitations or conditions to operations that may
have been placed by the Bureau of Gambling Control on the Seven Mile Casino. All information
should be provided in writing to the attention of Captain Lon Turner of my department.Seven
